John,
If you can get hold of it, 'Call of the Tiger' by Anderson Powell is an excellent book, he was probably the first guy who made use of the 'gadget' that some locals used to mimic Tigers calling.
Other good books are 'Tigers of the Raj' by Col.Burton. You will be interested to read his opinions on Corbett, then there is'Rifle and romance in the Indian jungle' by A.Glasfurd.And when you have finished reading these, then get hold of 'Home from the Hill', by Hilary Hook, he did his early days of shooting in India, and ended up as a PH in Kenya, in fact he was technical director to Elspeth Huxley's 'The flame trees of Thika'.
The best hunters and trackers in India are the Bhils and Ghonds....aboriginal tribesmen of Central India. Hilary Hook, in his book goes even further and reckons they are better that the African trackers.
